11/15/08 Rogue Valley Relay Challenge, a 100 kilometer relay race across southern Oregon, Team RVR won in 5:42:51 and set a new course record. (Erik and Kyle Skaggs, Trevor Palmer, John Leuthold, Hal Koerner)

And, yes, even we went head to head, mano y mano, and more accurately, brother against brother...check that out here.

Great job RVR! You guys are an inspiration and I've really enjoyed stopping by the Blog regularly. I think I identify with you guys most because I grew up in southern OR (Myrtle Creek). Looking forward to crossing paths with many of you in 2009.

chuckanut is filling fast over 110 runners have signed up since last nite.

and the lodging at orcas is almost full (less than 10 beds left) and we're down to just about 70 spots left for runners.

and i've got a new 50k (april 11) in the sunny and beautiful methow valley and hopefully will get approval from the fs for 4 more races (a road marathon, a 60k, a 50m and a 100k on the pct in the north cascades). stay tuned and get more info at: www.rainshadow-running.blogspot.com
